In its normal course, plastic can be recycled seven to eight times before it goes to an incineration plant &#8230; but if you downcycle, after one or two lives itself, it will have to be disposed,\u201d said Pandey from Teri.<\/p>\n<div class=\"group\">\n<p>Tackling waste segregation is also essential.<\/p>\n<p>If general waste and biodegradable cutlery are disposed together, it defeats the purpose of using plastic alternatives, according to Sambyal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is high time that source segregation of domestic waste is implemented vigorously,\u201d said Foundation for Campaign Against Plastic Pollution\u2019s Srivastava, referring to waste management laws that are in place, but not followed closely.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Way forward<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"group\">\n<p>Environmentalists generally agree that the ban is not sufficient on its own and needs to be supported by other initiatives and government regulations.<\/p>\n<p>The amount of plastic that is collected and recycled needs to be improved. That comes from regulating manufacturers and asking them to clearly mark the type of plastic used in a product, so it can be recycled appropriately, said Pandey.<\/p>\n<div class=\"group\">\n<p>In addition to improving recyclability, investment in research and development for alternatives should also be a priority.<\/p>\n<p>Pandey explained that India is a big, price-sensitive market where plastic alternatives could be produced in bulk and sold at affordable prices.<\/p>\n<p>Several Indian states introduced various restrictions on plastic bags and cutleries in the past, but most of them were not enforced strictly.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the latest ban is a big step toward India\u2019s fight against landfill, marine and air pollution \u2014 and is in line with its broader environmental agenda, according to the experts.<\/p>\n<p>In March, <a href=\"https:\/\/economictimes.indiatimes.com\/news\/politics-and-nation\/india-to-meet-its-paris-agreement-commitments-ahead-of-2030-pm-narendra-modi\/articleshow\/81351882.cms?from=mdr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">India said it was on track to meet its Paris agreement climate change targets<\/a>, and added that it has voluntarily committed to reducing greenhouse gas emission intensity of its GDP by 33% to 35% by 2030.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>India will ban most single-use plastics by next year as part of its efforts to reduce pollution \u2014 but experts say the move is only a first step to mitigate the environmental impact.
